Continuing Crime and Insecurity in Northern Central America
A continuing campaign of unspeakable brutality is morphing through Central America’s northern tier of nations, with a myriad of violent crimes and death. The stability of democracies within the northern triangle, especially El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, could continue at great risk. As well, this instability within the poorly defined borders of the triangle region continues to pose significant threats to Mexico, the southern border of the United States, and beyond.

Latin America - Crime and the Systemic Failures of Government in Venezuela
Why must a personal tragedy, such as the murder of former beauty queen and Miss Venezuela Monica Spear and her husband -- last week in Venezuela, bring such an intense public outrage worldwide, with a weak leftist President Nicolas Maduro racing to silence the publicity?.

Venezuela - The Failures and Shame of Hugo Chavez's Bolivarian Revolution
If there was even a modicum of value to add to the history of Venezuela from the presidency of the late Hugo Chavez, in his 14 years of iron fisted rule, one could argue that the self-professed mantra of his “Bolivarian Revolution” was not a total failure.

U.S. citizens are not so naïve as to believe that our 2,000 mile border with Mexico is the dividing line where transnational drug traffickers and organized crime insurgents check their manners, respect the locals, and simply go after their markets and competition.

Mexico - New Mexican Leader must maintain Fight vs. 'Organized Crime'
There is a plethora of advice for Mexico's President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto, who faces a monumental task of healing the Mexican homeland. Part of this advice should be to distinguish between fact and fiction, and focus on synthesized logic.

Mexico's Security Progress Hinges on Presidential Elections
Although it took a few years to deploy a fluid strategy of engagement and serious attempts at containment of an enemy inflicting massive violence and death on the Mexican homeland, President Felipe Calderon stayed the course under great peril to his presidency (December 1, 2006-November 30, 2012) and his administration. And soon, the future safety and welfare of the Mexican people will be left for the presidential election on July 1.

It has taken many years for the U.S. to answer a wakeup call to the Mexican border. As far back as 2005, when the sophistication of Mexican and other transnational organized criminals graphically manifested their superior tactics and armament on the streets of Nuevo Laredo, a nation scrambled to demand walls and fences regardless of the associated costs.

Mexico's Presidential Election and the Fight Against Crime
It has been routinely suggested that Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) dominated Mexican politics with one-party rule for most of the 20th century, "corrupting the country's law enforcement and judiciary institutions." And today, the key to Mexico's successful future may lie less in local political agendas and more on who can effectively govern an entire nation.
